The Longtrail, Viper and Yellowknife systems designs are based on the CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform) / PPCP (PowerPC Platform) specification. No one is shipping products based on these designs.

When and if systems based on this specification are actually shipping, including systems based on Longtrail, Viper or Yellowknife, Be will announce further details of our plans to allow the BeOS to run on those systems.
